In Japan, during its era of Westernization from the mid-nineteenth century, political economy was introduced by way of a link in the chain of reception of Western enlightenment thought, which was characterized by its confidence in human reason and social progress. Afterwards, in line with national policy, political economy was rapidly institutionalized in Japan's higher education. Political economy was required to play a part in the authoritarian national order system. However, the vein of political economy as a component of enlightenment thought had never been eliminated. Such a political economy was observed in the non-main currents, beyond the so-called enlightenment period.This essay provides some examples from the latter half of the Meiji era to the Taisho era. Taguchi Ukichi and Keizaigaku Kyokai, Toda Kaichi and “Kyoto Keizaigaku”, and Takano Iwasaburo and Ohara Shakaimondai Kenkyujo, Osaka Rodo Gakko are all discussed from the viewpoint of the formation of scholars' groups. These scholars' groups spared no pains to emancipate political economy from the teachings of national policy and to locate it instead in civil life.

Abstract: Hideko Maruoka was a Japanese woman economist. Born in Nagano in 1903, she grew up in the home of the grandparents of her mother, who were poor peasants. She was very interested in the livelihood of rural women, and so when she got a job with the Sangyo Kumiai Chuokai (Agricultural Cooperatives Federation) in 1929, she investigated the lives of rural women nationwide under the depression of the 1930s. Maruoka studied the plight of rural women as agricultural laborers, housewives, and mothers. Her first work entitled Nihon Nohson Fujin Mondai: Shufu Bosei Hen (Rural Wom-enʼs Problem in Japan: Housewife and Motherhood) was published in 1937, where she emphasized that rural women are representative of all women who bear harsh maternal life, sexual discrimination, and feudal servitude. After the war, Maruoka participated in various associations such as the Fujin Minshu Club (Japan Womenʼs Democratic Club) founded in 1946 and the Shin Nihon Fujin no Kai (New Japan Womenʼs Association) founded in 1962, and was busy with various womenʼs agricultural cooperative movements. However, she continued to study, and her important post-war work Bukka to Kakeibo (Prices and Household Management) was published in 1963, where she wrote that family budgets are much distorted by the total inadequacy of social security. The United Nationʼs proclamation of 1975 as the International Womenʼs Year and declaration of a decade for women gave Maruoka, who was by then over 70 years old, the motivation to study further, and she studied the problems of rural women once again with younger colleagues. Over her lifetime, Maruoka published numerous books that show her as a researcher of opposition. Her last work entitled Fujin Shisou Keiseishi Note, in two volumes, studies the history of womenʼs liberation thoughts from the Meiji Era to the Showa Era, 1975 / 82. Throughout her life, Maruoka wrote and spoke of rural women's problem as the origin of all womenʼs problems. JEL classification numbers: B 29, B 31, J 71.
